Bio

I am an academically curious high school senior with a passion for nature and a commitment to fostering the next generation of environmental stewards. I believe in hands-on learning while making it fun. I am actively involved in volunteering as a young naturalist at Mass Audubon and an assistant camp counselor at Seacoast Science Center, both promoting environmental education within the community. I am also a well-rounded athlete, excelling in basketball and soccer as a co-captain for each sport. I also embrace the arts, being involved with steel drums since first grade and participating in the Global Rhythm Ensemble at Phillips Exeter. Another way that I express my artistic side is by being involved with the Rubbish to Runway Re-fashion show as a designer and model of fashion created by recycled materials such as homework, drink pouches, college brochures, etc. In the future, I aspire to study biology and education studies in college and continue teaching the next generation about the importance of caring for our planet.
